The impact of religious, social, and economic forces upon the development of management education in Latin America

Article Abstract:

It is important to consider the impact of religious, cultural and economic factors on the development of management education in Latin America. The Roman Catholic Church initially had a negative attitude towards management education, as did society as a whole, but this attitude began to change when it became clear that good management education could play a role in allowing Latin America to effectively utilize the factors of production, thus fostering economic development. Factors including economic globalization and international competition have played a significant part in firmly establishing management education in Latin America in the late 1980s and 1990s.
